between my best intentions, and the most mistaken deeds between my greatest yearnings, and the smallest satisfaction between my mind’s vivid visions, and all the drabness i see the shadow falls, he almost smothers me

just when i think i can make myself clear the shadow descends, he chokes me with fear i want to sidestep him, but so far i can’t break free

there’s always the shadow the shadow of doubt standing between me and all i want to be the shadow of doubt

he leaves me to question my own sincerity looks over my shoulder to make decisions tough his arms enfold us when i hold you close to me i can’t say, ???i love you??? and have it mean enough

use the courage of conviction and make the shadow fade build the strength that comes through hope and make that shadow fade

care beyond what words can say and make the shadow fade with power in your mind keep the shadow behind you
